| butt |
The knot at the thick end of the whip. Many whips are designed so that this should fit in the palm of the hand. Can occasionally slip or come undone which is why, in the whips we make, we usually end-splice the butt of the handle to give a similar shape that's part of the braid. A Turk's head is also commonly used for cover knots and decorative work. Can vary considerably, in complexity and beauty.
